anti-american rage gains momentum with several deaths across the arab world and protests over us made film mocking the prophet muhammad. thousands take to the streets of the egyptian capital as street battles and so you have between protesters and security forces in front of the american embassy at least one person is killed in the worst violence since the brotherhood comes to. after a summer breeze or russia's opposition is set for nationwide marches as public sector workers prepare to join their rallies for the first time. the u.k. orders a probe into why fuel costs are kept high even when oil prices drop with traders

and city speculators accused of breaking the market. one pm in the russian capital watching r.t. with me josh welcome to the program a few hours crowds attacking american embassies across the islamic world are refusing to scale down the protests which continue to claim lives in age of demonstrators angry over a u.s. made mocking islam are in a stand off with police for a fourth day our disposal here is in cairo. the situation certainly is a lot calm and quiet safe here in front of the american embassy in cairo the called has been pushed back white out of this area although there are still a few hundreds on on saturday morning but certainly nothing like the scenes we were witnessing over the prostitute days there is still a pretty strange though of tear gas in the area if you look behind me you will see

the security barrier that the security forces pulled on friday morning and this was to try and stop protest this reaching the american embassy which is just on the other side i spent several hours cool time in that environment because there's simply no way to run to all the shops and barricaded the windows as well as the doors of the hotels in the area have closed down and that continues pretty frightening when you have protesters on the one side holding these huge chunks of glass and concrete at the security forces who were firing constant rounds of tear gas overnight there was also an attack by the city on an american base in the afghanistan problem of helmand now at least two u.s. movies were killed when the attorneys managed to scale the aisle to security perimeter we know that this is also the base where the british police was stationed but that he managed to go on holiday and there have also been protests taking place as far afield as australia where several hundred protesters chanted messages such as down and down you escaped from the city you see to the gas to disperse those

crowds the demonstrations are now spreading like wildfire across north africa and the middle east of course the anger being expressed on the streets is anger against this american made film that bomb that mocks prophet mohammed we've seen demonstrations in bangladesh in malaysia in gaza also in iraq in sudan at least three people are known to have died in demonstrations in the capital city of khartoum these took place when protesters tried to reach the american embassy and to that end the united states is sending the means to back up security there the german as well as the british embassies will also be under attack. in yemen with her being that of these school nicole has been actually doing various stations there u.s. marines have a wife to make up the city of summit to try and just use the situation in tunis we're hearing that at least two people have died this happened when colleagues scaled the rules of the american embassy and managed actually to get inside the compound basic fire on the seven of the trees inside the compound and at the same

time they set fire on an american the school even cost eleven on at least one person there has died away in a chain restaurant pavement fire mess of colleagues have also been gathering not only there in the northern the east if you tickle me the police are expressing their anger in the capital city of beirut at the same time if you could not be aware the privately run up to that point to stay the american ambassador there as well as three other personal needs to be dismissed and there has been laid to rest the united states as well as the minister and he's had an opening to investigation there have made several arrests and we hearing from them that they believe that this has all the telltale signs of al qaida or the mood is incredibly volatile across the region with so the demonstrations today saturday author and journalist afshin rattansi believes this on breast was a long time coming and isn't going to and any time soon. and now twenty different countries terrible hear about the deaths of people sensibly over this ridiculous

film but as to where diplomatic relations lie the leaders of those countries will be telling washington if they indeed have relations with washington. and it seems like the chicken is going on to roost it's difficult to see how it could have been averted the people who make them feel he designed this to happen we don't have foreign a granny creating the grounded theater is in effect the arab world the global south countries that have been devastated by centuries of colonialism of those decades of a us imperialism and nobody can obama's policies in the past five years have been so. debilitating to so many millions of people it's not a case of activism as such was a broad array of people who detest us imperialism and there we can expect more and more to follow and more catalysts whether it be a crazy film or a other one of the president obama or who knows president romney's crazy foreign

policy ideas because. he will not be the only diplomat. presumably it will be targeted and it's not a good time now for u.s. diplomats around the world there's more opinion on what's happening in the arab world online for years at r.t. dot com hosting the latest updates there live as they come in and there's a timeline of how the situation is developing. and the suspected director of the american made anti muslim film which triggered the paragraph has been taken in by police for questioning and los angeles more on islamic unrest arts and. washington has deployed its marines across the arab world to protect u.s. missions while the white house struggles to contain a fallout america's leadership has condemned the film and stressed it had nothing

to do with it but as our teaser gun it's to count reports the video is not the only grievance the protesters half against the u.s. as angry mobs in muslim countries stormed u.s. embassies and burned american flags the u.s. president delivers yet another speech about how good america's intentions really are and have been in the muslim world america's a friend that we care not just about our own country not just about our own interests but about theirs that even as voices of suspicion mistrust seek to divide countries and cultures from one another the united states of america will never retreat from the world. we will never stop working for the dignity and freedom that every person deserves it could be that the obama administration thinks by supporting revolutions by fostering regime change washington is winning the hearts and minds of the people in that part of the world but recent events showed

that's not quite so if you look at poll numbers that gauge public attitude towards the u.s. in different muslim countries u.s. approval rating is the same as it was under president george w. bush in some countries like pakistan it's much worse and these numbers have nothing to do with the infamous film but they do have something to do with us policies you know we can grab any kind of purple finger revolution we want people to have democracy and have freedom but at the end of the day when we look at the results of what's been accomplished over two decades of being in this region destabilizing the region we have hundreds of millions of people who are that in a lot of cases had their world turned upside down and in many cases they've had relatives that have been killed in this process and we're building enemies towards this country and you know it i think that there's a need for a major wake up call in the west especially the united states the way they've ministration is trying to somehow contain the blowback over the same type of film is by bashing the film and saying that they to find it disgusting but now it's

clear to pretty much everyone that it's not just about the film this rage against the united states has been brewing for a while and it seems it needed just us bark to blow up and the film tragically provided that spark need ministrations soothing words about democracy don't seem to help much in putting out the flame of rage now sweeping across the arab world in washington i'm going to check out. what the words from washington having little effect on the arab protests anti-war activists john durie says there are actions the u.s. can take to show its goodwill and calm the situation down. say that there are a number of things that should be done immediately first of all the troops should be withdrawn from afghanistan immediately that would be a huge signal in the muslim world that america didn't intend to continue the neoconservatives foreign policy of the last ten years or so they could immediately withdraw the covert assistance which they are they are giving in the

syrian in the syrian conflict they could immediately withdraw the sanctions on iran these would be very very serious it was rather than president obama ringing up president morsi and lecturing him for twenty minutes by all accounts about how his government needs to be more pro-american it would be better if he dealt with the people in his own country that is producing this this kind of thing after all america has fought a war in two predominantly muslim countries in the last ten years three if you include its involvement in the attack on libya now surely the should be a moment where a responsible leader of a country that has done that takes some action when a film is produced of this kind which in those circumstances is bound to result in anger across the middle east russia's muslim population has also been a fan of by the us make sell however now protests rallies have been staged in the

country which has several predominantly muslim regions the leader of one of these russia's republic of chechnya has said no violence will be allowed to take place but criticize those who signed mask and films and publications who said russia's muslim believers were outraged by the hatred towards their face expressed in the film but there are said the west should prosecute the creators of the film and charged now with the dance of the people killed in protest which included the american ambassador to libya.

russia's opposition is gearing up for its first big rallies after a summer long marches will take place all across the country the largest being in moscow and for the first time opposition groups will be joined by teachers and other public sector workers here's our teaser in english co. in addition to the staples off the opposition movement which is basically the calls to conduct extraordinary elections into the russian parliament and as well and presidential elections as well this time around they have decided to add several social issues to the roster for example they're dissatisfied with several of the laws which have been passed or are currently being debated in the state duma which is russia's parliament one such actually laws looking into allowing for a private school for for privatizations of schools and hospitals then there's also the issue of trust for an agency said that is that the law which says that all groups which are actively participating in the political lives of the country abut

receive funding from abroad should be thoroughly financially investigated there's also of course the issue of pussy riot who have become sort of the poster girls for the opposition over the course of the summer while they were on trial of course a lot of people in the opposition are very unhappy with the prison sentence that the three members of the punk rock collective have received but there's also the issue of the state duma deputy who has just been evicted from the state duma a four overstepping his official powers by the opposition leaders say that is because he has been affiliated with them one of the main criticisms of which the opposition has received over the course of several months a lot of people are saying that there is too many groups there is too many leaders and they do not have exact set goals for example this time around you will be looking at at a march which will feature everyone from the ultra nationalists to get a lesbian rights supporters to even

a christian youth group who actually will be walking against the march because they have called this whole affair a work of satans for the first time around we will also be see the communist party members who will be making their debut at the opposition rally but without their leadership they have received an allowance or so to speak for. at the city to conduct a march with up to twenty five thousand people participating the organizers of the rally are saying that they already have that many people out of the main issues that we're looking at right now whether or not the russian opposition will be able to bring out as many people as they have been bringing out at the end of last year or at the beginning of this year there's also a second issue because it's the rally in june has actually gone down quite peacefully one inmates were and violent with. some publications that happening in the crowd with some people throwing rocks at the police and actually treating people in the crowd as well and there were arrests made and there were several policemen had to be hospitalized as a result so everybody looting the opposition and of course the authorities are

hoping that there will be no such violence this time that there will be no provocation and we do have a police presence on the streets of course we will be having streets cordoned off in the center of the city so it will be more convenient for the protesters to march we will have to see how all of it develops throughout the day of course we'll be bringing you live pictures as well right here on our t.v. . reporting there later this hour to tweet or not to tweet we ask the question. the footnote there for the general public so to still feel ok that's going to be used against record you know be sure the said it you know he's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault after any your court orders the release of private tweets the president wonders whether free speech is at stake on the web. britain has ordered financial watchdogs to investigate a possible oil prices scandal traders and city speculators are accused of rigging markets to make sure a prize drops are and passed on to consumers as artist laura smith reports the costs are pushing out how much britain's pay for all their goods. the city is under

fire again this time it's traders and speculators in for a grilling as the energy minister announces an investigation into breaking the petrol price it's meant fulls in the oil price on posts on to consumers making petrol and diesel more expensive in real terms than they've ever been pump prices are quick to fill when the oil price rises very slow to full when it goes down petrol price campaign is all coalescing on they found guilty of breaking the price to go to prison the scandal follows a huge rise in the price at the pump it's gone up ten p. since early july to around one pound forty elites and that high price builds of down into the entire economy ninety percent of everything we have in our homes is delivered by low rate and with fuel prices so high school it's companies are full

of to post that expense to consumers making literally everything food clothes domestic appliances more expensive it also impacts on labor mobility so how far people could travel to get to work and whether they can get new jobs that require some distance to the fuel price can even impact on the unemployment rate which is hovering around eight percent at the moment once no claim is what the alternative is speculating on the one in the price of is one of the consequences of free market capitalism which often results in corporations getting rich sometimes at the expense of ordinary people so imprison the perpetrator as they might but it's unlikely to change much what it will do is divert attention from the government's role sixty percent of the price consumers pay at the pump tax the highest in europe . demand for waiting a while is on the rise despite any embargo on american sanctions the international

energy agency says tehran sold more of its crude in august and in july when the restrictions came into force measures are aimed at forcing iran to stop its nuclear program which to run maintains his for purely peaceful purposes despite this the country's resources are still in the band with turkey china and india currently the top importers the us treasury meanwhile says sanctions are effective and have slashed iran screwed exports in half compared to last year but policy director at the national running american council says iran's nuclear program won't suffer anyway. i don't know that you could actually look at the lost revenues from oil exports and say iran has taken away money from its nuclear program or reduced money for military spending because frankly with the threat of war i think iran is probably continuing down the path that has already already has been on which stations you know there's no perfect sanctions regime there's always going to be

holes there's always going to be loopholes there's always going to be this game of whack a mole where iran responds within the u.s. tries to ratchet up and you're never going to get a perfect embargo. so i think that the question is the question is ok now you have these sanctions what do we do with these are we going to leverage these or is this a repeat of what we had with iraq where we did a great job of restricting oil sales and then doing well for food but the end of the day that didn't actually yield anything but massive humanitarian suffer suffering and then eventually this movement for disasters invasion now take a look at some other stories from around the world police in south africa have raided the hostels of mine workers in the area reportedly seizing arms and arresting twelve people on friday the government announced a crackdown on what it called illegal gatherings have yielded no breakthrough in industrial interest which the earlier saw police shoot thirty four miners strikes started at the beginning of. august forcing the closure of four mines belonging to

anglo-american the world's largest producer. china's vice president has appeared in public for the first time in two weeks she didn't paintings absence wasn't officially explained fuelling rumors about his house and the stability of china succession process as he's expected to become the country's next leader are also suggestions of a power struggle before the vice president reportedly attended an event the national science. the duke and duchess of cambridge are suing a french magazine after it published topless pictures of kate middleton pictures were taken while the couple were holiday at a private chateau in france legal proceedings have been launched in the country over alleged breach of privacy william and kate are currently on a tour of southeast asia and the south pacific to mark the queen's diamond jubilee . twitter has agreed to hand over the deleted tweets of an occupy wall street

protester who is among those charge for blocking the brooklyn bridge last year the social network was threatened with sanctions if they didn't give up around three months to get to this records to new york for those tweets logically undermine the protesters claims that the police intentionally pushed the crowds into the bridge only to arrest them for obstructing traffic. critics say twitter is decision sets a precedent were authorities can now pay to information which was assumed to be private residence or harvest went to the streets of new york to find out if people feel less protected. a manhattan judge has ordered twitter to release the tweets of an occupy wall street protester and those tweets are expected to be used against him in a criminal trial is that an invasion of his privacy and right free speech this week let's talk about that so let's say it was

a terrorist saying ok let's go attack somebody what it was it was it was an american expressing his views. you know just trying to get his message out there ok some would call him a terrorist and if the person that you might think is a terrorist might feel like they're just expressing them their needs and what they're frustrated by. i don't know if we always seem to be you know. giving you information that you haven't been revealed yet or a broadcast yet so i appreciate that we're going to hope that ever stops as he's put out there for the general public so pissed off local that's going to be used against him in court you know we shouldn't set it you know he's going to incriminate himself that's his own fault that what you say under free speech is so it should still be subject to law yeah if i go on television and tell everybody how to avoid cops to commit a crime and get away with it and do it on television. smile faults i think the most is thing about twitter is if the internet journalism but writing is going

to start to save more of a hold than it probably needs to be treated similar soon newspaper ads or other things that might be written in print media and so i'm not sure if twitter should give it up but if they want to start to grow i think they might have to do what about that person's right to their own tweets and their privacy depends how serious the matter is i think yeah i think. that line do you trust the government to draw that line i don't know if you don't want to in the public you don't put it out on. yeah it's kind of a canvas screaming out a window if you're posting it on the internet. so things like most people agree because social media is taking on a more important role in social justice change and counterculture the laws around social media are going to have to evolve as well.

when the worlds biggest conglomerates bring their business to is a most secluded and often sacred corners of the earth they usually heard much more than people's beliefs of a dante were promised an ancient indian tribe prosperity and a technological leap into the future as a reader now reports it turned out to be a wolf in sheep's clothing. it's one of the most serene and sacred places in india me i'm gary hills home to the dong tried it three years thousands of tribal people here have been relocated by a london based conglomerate the vedanta group it wanted to mine into mountains considered sacred to extract the aluminum or box a for use in its refineries specially built nearby but the social and environmental costs have been high. the income source of people for three hundred fifty villages have been destroyed so what will these people do they depend on the land and forest for their livelihood

and leave believe that their land is their mother father god we have a deep respect for their land but for now the indian government has kicked out saying the group has violated forest conservation and environmental protection laws that since. while some say india could stimulate its economy by accessing its natural resources the people in this community believe that their land is sacred and they're not going to let any foreign corporations come in and destroy it praful mahogany says that vedanta took two acres of his land promised him compensation but that he never received anything and it's not just his communities environment that has been destroyed he says that the actions of the company have damaged the wellbeing of local people so there's been an increase in. mental health issues. and also.

vedanta did not respond to our requests for comment but has said in the past that it believes it can make significant contributions to the people of the area and bring development to the region critics however say that hasn't happened. most of the local people that we've spoken to feel that they've had promises made by the company that have just been broken and that they not only have they not received development from the company but fundamentally they do not want development in the company all they want is to be allowed to live their lives in peace the confrontation has received attention from high profile figures like movie director james cameron who compared the dispute to a real life avatar vedanta are trying to appeal the decision by the indian government in a bid to allow them to continue their work but for now local people are celebrating their victory in preserving their ancestral lands. you know he will work towards our development and he will not say we want to live the way we did go down to came
